The plans of Edgar, Master of Ravenswood to regain his ancient
family estate from the corrupt Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of
Scotland are frustrated by the complexities of the legal and
political situations following the 1707 Act of Union, and by his
passion for his enemy's beautiful daughter Lucy. First published in
1819, this intricate and searching romantic tragedy offers
challenging insights into emotional and sexual politics, and
demonstrates the shrewd way in which Scott presented his work as
historical document, entertainment, and work of art.
